Plastic surgeon recommendations?

As my one year surgiversary approaches, I'm starting to think about plastic surgery.  In a perfect world, I'd like to get everything done- breasts, stomach, back, arms, legs.

Any recommendations on a good plastic surgeon?  Was he able to get insurance to pay for your BL or tummy tuck?

Thanks!

many views and no reccomendations lol.. on the top it says find a plastic surgeon or something.. i would just look into their clinic ratings or something :)

 I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Wilke at Edina Plastic Surgery.  He was a little more expensive, but connected to the hospital and has a very high satisfaction rating.  He is extremely personable - answers questions honestly and openly without telling you what you want to hear.

I had my breasts lifted and augmented (400cc's) and brachioplasty on my arms.  I had about 5 inches of skin removed from each arm.  Recovery was quick for me - barely any pain... just discomfort.  I didn't even need pain meds other than tylenol after the first 2 days.

The cost for both procedures was $12,000.   Insurance will not pay for plastic surgery - just get used to the fact you will be paying out of pocket.  The most you can hope to get them to cover is a panniculectomy which is a hack job where they just remove the skin and do not tighten anything up.

Most surgeons will not even deal with the insurance companies because of all the red tape they have to go through to get $800 towards the panniculectomy.

Best of luck to you!!!
